It's funny that so many quarterbacks who weren't 7-4 as a regular season starter and weren't 1-1 in the playoffs get a free pass. Tim reminds me of Joe Kapp and Billy Kilmer. They weren't pretty but they won a lot of games and got their teams to the Super Bowl.

It two different standards, the other day, espn radio was discussing the Broncos signing Peyton, and what it should tell Tebow and how the management felt about him, then turned right around in the next sentence when discussing Alex Smith's feeling being hurt by the 49er's interest was to tell him "hey, it was Peyton Manning, we had to try!"

One of these days Sanchez will have to put on some big boy pants. It's amazing how in football, everyone is concerned with everyone else's feelings.

Tebow picked the jets over jags

Marty, Not a fan of Pete... Did not hear the interview, but Pete in my opinion is a TOOL. He hates on Tebow everyday, but all he does is talk about him everyday.

Im with you Marty! Give the man a chance, he has most definitely earned it. Im just bummed the Jets is where he is now. Im a transplanted Floridian living in Massachusetts, and can't stand the Jets! Oh well! And don't feel bad, Prisco was an ass all the way back to his Times Union days in JAX. Don't feel bad!

Exactly. Unfortunately that personifies the difference b/w our country today and 20 - 30 years ago. A lot of people out there feel like they are owed something these days. NY just paid Sanchez $20M. They don't owe him sh*t. He owes them his blood, sweat and tears. If I was Rex Ryan I would have a press conference for Tebow and announce that he will push Sanchez for his starting job. Kid would probably work harder if God's favorite football player is parting seas behind him. If you get paid $20M you have no reason to complain and should do everything in your power to earn that money. If he complains, Bart Scott should elbow slap him in front of the whole team.

No. Hodge did NOT say he was the WORST player in NFL history. What he said is that Tebow is the most OVER RATED player in NFL history. And to some extent, he may be right.

Tebow is grossly over rated by the media and the minority group of fans who push him ... including me. And people who made him the second most popular player in the NFL, even before his run or success last year. And I personally think there's a bit of a problem when the trade of a 4th round pick for what is viewed to be a back-up QB is a bigger story and get's as much or more coverage than the NFL suspending one of the best coaches in the league for a year and handing down what are probably the harshest penaltie ever imposed in the history of the NFL.

And the "Tebowing" and the who is Tebow dating, and the girls on YouTube begging for dates and the SNL skits. He probably gets as much publicity as any NFL player ever has. I can see why that rubs people the wrong way, especially people like Hodge who want to see Tebow fail. So yes, I think Tebow IS arguably the most over rated player in NFL history.

Maybe it's better termed over-hyped as opposed to over rated. He's definitely the most polarizing NFL player of all time. But that's not Tebow's fault.

At the same time, Tebow really ISN'T over rated by the owners and GMs. Hodge's point was that Tebow's value was a 4th or 5th round pick and he feels that's pretty accurate. Again, I don't disagree.

Of course most of us know Tebow well enough to understand that his value to a team is SO much more than his throwing motion. We think we know his true value to an NFL team. I have gone on record as saying that I think Tebow is the Jet's starter by mid-season. Not so much because I think Tebow is the that great a QB, but I think Sanchez is that bad and on that short a leash.

Just wanted to clarify what Hodge.

Yes, that's correct he did say most overrated in history which is still patently absurd.

You're saying Tebow was more overrated than purple drank aka "Jamarshmellow" or even Ryan Leaf? Both were #1 and #2 respectively IIRC and got paid a helluva lot of money to do nothing but fail repeatedly and horribly. They never won jack, they had awful attitudes, and they are less overrated than Tebow? Come on. I find that just ridiculous not to mention he was saying all players in NFL history.

Hoge has a vendetta if that wasn't absolutely obvious by now.

I would say Sanchez is a bust as I would anyone picked in the first round that's had multiple years starting or trying w/o any success.

Romo at least has success and is a good QB. Sanchez sucks.
